Answer:

The answer is option C=150%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost of the jacket=$16 in January

Final cost of jacket=$24 in September

What percentage must of the original price is the new?

The new price=the original price×(A percentage)

Where the new price=$24, the original price=$16, and the percentage=(x/100)

24=16×x/100

x=(24×100)/16=150%

The answer is 150%

The length of a rectangle is 6 units and its width is 4 units. What is the approximate length of the diagonal of the rectangle?
ss7ja [257]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  " 7.2 units" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c² ;

in which:  "6 units" and "4 units" equal the lengths of the right angle (formed by the rectangle);  and "c" is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, or the "hypotenuse", of the right triangle formed by the rectangle;  We wish to solve for "c" ;
_______________________________________________

6² + 4² = c² ;  Solve for "c" ;

↔ c² = 6² + 4² ; 

         = (6*6) + (4*4) ;
 
         = 36 + 16 ;

        =  52 ;

    c² = 52 ;

Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ; 

  √(c²)  =  √52 ; 

    c = √52 ;  

At this point, we know the 7² = 49 ;  8² = 64 ;  so, the answer is somewhere between "7" and "8" ; yet closer to "7" ;  so among the answer choices given; 

The correct answer is:  [D]:  " 7.2 units" .
_________________________________________
However, let use a calculator:

c = √52 = 7.2111025509279786 ; which rounds to "7.2" ;
   which corresponds to:

Answer choice:  [C]:  " 7.2 units" .
